  • Fake Nationality
    • Wo Fat, played by Anglo-Egyptian-Sudanese-American Khigh Dheigh. Yes, really.
    • In "Samurai", Mexican-born actor Ricardo Montalban played a Japanese mobster.
    • Spock's dad played a Japanese saboteur in "To Hell With Babe Ruth." Oh dear.
  • Missing Episode: "Bored She Hung Herself", a 1970 episode about a deadly yoga technique that bears more than a passing resemblance to Erotic Asphyxiation, has been banned since its original broadcast, allegedly because a viewer accidentally died while imitating the technique. The episode was never syndicated, and it's not included on the second season DVD box set.
  • The Other Darrin: Tim O'Kelly as Danno, Lew Ayres as The Governor and James Gregory as State Department official Jonathan Kaye (a recurring character on the series) in the pilot movie; Ayres later guested on the series (twice, in different roles), as did pilot cast members Andrew Duggan (four times!) and Leslie Nielsen. Kaye, meanwhile, was played by a total of six different actors.
  • Playing Against Type: Andy Griffith is a con artist in "I'm a Family Crook -- Don't Shoot!"
  • Trope Namer: For Book Em Danno.
